Discuss Ephesians 3 Page 14

Its powerful and awesome to know I serve a mighty God who is able to do for me wat I can imagine he can do greater praise God I love him more than anything

Mankind is inherently an immoral entity guided by the lust of power and control over others. God kicked the devil out of his Kingdom because of such lust. God never meant for mankind to stay on the earth forever. His eternal purpose to have mankind voluntarily worship him and love him as the living God will be fulfilled. However, most of mankind will be banished along with Satin according to the Bible. Amen

Paul is in prison, but he is not allowing that to stop him from fulfilling his manifest destiny, which is to preach the gospel to the Gentiles. Paul wants the Ephesians to be filled with the mystery of the knowledge of Christ, which was hid in ages past, as well as to know the love of Christ which p***es knowledge. God is able to make all grace abound toward us, and is able to do exceedingly, and abundantly all that we may ask or think in Christ Jesus according to the power that works in the church throughout all ages, world without end. So stay tuned to Christ for in Him is all the mystery of the gospel revealed. Let the love of Christ empower you to move past hate, and know the dept, the breath, the length, and height of His love for the saints.

we normally trust man and all his way,when our prayers are delayed to be answered,we loose hope, but Ephesians 3:20 say God can do exceedingly and abundantly above what we think,lets tune to the voice of God

Ephesians chapter 3 verse 3---Revelation is keen to believers manifestation in life. It lead us in the path of God word through the holy spirit.

This portion(Eph.3:20) clearly shows a distinction between man's imagination & God's abilities.Man is limited in expression and imagination but God is not. No wonder He said in 1 Cor.1:25 that man's wisdom is His foolishness.When we can no longer imagine, He starts performing.He is our strength,when we are wick.This,remember that for God to "Do exceeding abundantly above All", absolute Faith and Trust is required.......thus,"According to the POWER that WORKETH in us.Praise God.

Paul didnt say he was a prisoner of the romans which he was, He said he was a prisoner of jesus christ.a prisoner has no rights and does only that which his captor allows and tells him to do.Paul was saying he did nothing on his own..

In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
CONFIDENCE
1 John 5:14-15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
How many of us lack confidence when we pray? We pray out of duty with very little anticipation of anything really changing or happening. Does this sound like your prayer life?
God really desires to answer our prayers and to give us the things that we are often in need of, but so often we sense that God is far from us and doesn't really care what is going on in our lives. I believe God really does care for us and desires to answer our prayers in a way that brings glory and honor unto His name.

Psalms 107:4-5 talks about those who cannot find their place in life, verses 10-11: those entangled in bondage ad trapped in darkness, verse 19-22: those whose sin reduces them to fool, verse 23-24 those who veered off course after all the good things God has done for them, they give the reward to themselves instead of being rewarded by God. Any difficult situation that they faced GOD still came through for them. We might be born again children of God but if we don’t understand the love of God, we are going to live a miserable life. These people spoken in this chapter know that it is God who could save them; when they cried to the Lord he heard them. What does the Lord mean? The Lord means owner, we don’t own our lives but Jesus owns them. We are going to face challenges in life and if we understand how much he loves us, life will be full of joy. And to know the love of Christ, which passeth all knowledge, that ye might b filled with all the fullness of GOD, Ephesians 3:17-19.

Each time I read this verse, I am renewed in my spirit. It is also good for introducing individuals to the Holy Scriptures as well as to the Lord our God!-Dale Smith

God could now give us His grace through the faith of Jesus, who exercised His faith in being obedient to death, even the death of the cross. Jesus fulfilled God's plan of forgiveness and everything we receive from God by being obedient to God's will. Now God could extend His grace to us.

The efforts and toiling of our leaders, clergy, teachers, encouragers, etc should challenge us to persevere in the race of Salvation.

@Elizabeth Lee,
This is why Christians need to study dispensational truth by Clarence Larkin. I Timothy 2:15, God’s plan of salvation for all mankind has never wavered, Ephesians 1:4, Matthew 25:34, God’s method may change, but not his plan. Jesus first purpose was the Jews and have the Jews to have the oracles of God and to evangelize the world, but the Jews rejected him as their messiah John 1:11. So the kingdom of heaven was postponed and ushered in the church age (kingdom of God). The responsibility has now been given over to the gentiles ( Ephesians 3:1-10) until the time of the gentiles become in ( Romans 11:25), at the rapture of the body of Christ. When Christ stated that it is finished on the cross of Calvary, salvation was available for mankind and extended to whosoever would invite Jesus into their heart as savior, Romans 10:9-13, I Timothy 4:10.

Give thanks unto Him.

Ephesians is the book that stresses Unity In the Body of Christ, because there is one body one Faith and one Baptism and that is Jesus Christ the Son of God To the savings of souls. Amen.

I can tell that Paul puts his full confidents and trust in Christ Jesus. Through chapter 5 scriptures 4 to ending he talks about the breath, length, depth, height of what christ can do and how much he loves us and invites us to know him more in the spirit. by reading this I learned it's not about what I can do but rather what christ can do, spiritual and naturaly. two thinks I think about 1. Paul was I man put in prison and he still has the nerve to trust and have confidents in christ. This shows me We Can Do All Things Through Christ Which Strength US. 2. I Think about the breath which he breaths through us, length he doesn't give up on us. depth he is long suffering with us. Height THERE is nothing imposible with God. We as Saints can weather the storm with Christ Jesus help. these scriptures let me know I AM NOT ALONE AMEN.

The scripture portrays our God as unlimited God, God who can do all things and nothing can limit His ability to do whatever He wants to do. He is able and extends it to us by meeting us at the point of our need even beyond our imagination.

This is an essential purpose of the church of Christ - to provide the medium by which the wisdom (plan, judgement and workings) of God over and above principalities and powers are revealed and established. It is also primarily for this reason that the church is considered a threat and usually attacked both spiritually and physically by the agents of these powers but we know, nothing can be done against the truth.

I believe from verse 9 to verse 20,all these great manifestations by the Lord Jesus,spoken by the apostle paul are for us the born again child of God.Verse 20 is the cap stone,of what can happen to an earnest believer seeker,from verse 19 thru verse 9,amen and glory to a great God,and his son Jesus Christ,and the holy Spirit.

Well Linda why don't we findout and see what Gods word has to say. And I saw, and, look! the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.” ( Revelation 14:1) As we have seen, this Lamb is the same as the Michael who cleansed the heavens by casting out the Devil and his demons. He is the Michael whom Daniel describes as “standing in behalf of the sons of [God’s] people” as he prepares to “stand up” in executing Jehovah’s righteous judgments. ( Daniel 12:1; Revelation 12:7, 9) Since 1914 this self-sacrificing Lamb of God has been standing on Mount Zion as the Messianic King.
3 It is just as Jehovah foretold: “I, even I, have installed my king upon Zion, my holy mountain.” ( Psalm 2:6; 110:2) This no longer refers to the earthly Mount Zion, the geographical location of earthly Jerusalem, in which city human kings in the line of David used to reign. (1 Chronicles 11:4-7; 2 Chronicles 5:2) No, for Jesus, after his death and resurrection in 33 C.E., was installed as a foundation cornerstone on the heavenly Mount Zion, the celestial location where Jehovah determined to place the “city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem.” Hence, “the Mount Zion” here represents the exalted position of Jesus and his joint heirs, who make up heavenly Jerusalem, which is the Kingdom. ( Hebrews 12:22, 28; Ephesians 3:6) It is the glorious royal situation to which Jehovah elevates them during the Lord’s day. Over the centuries, anointed Christians, as “living stones,” have earnestly looked forward to standing on that heavenly Mount Zion, united with the glorified Lord Jesus Christ in his majestic Kingdom.—1 Peter 2:4-6; Luke 22:28-30; John 14:2, 3.
4 John sees not only Jesus but the complete body of the 144,000 fellow heirs of the heavenly Kingdom standing upon the Mount Zion. At the time represented by the vision, many, but not all, of the 144,000 are already in heaven. Later in the same vision, John learns that some of the holy ones still have to endure and die faithful. ( Revelation 14:12, 13) Evidently, then, some of the 144,000 are still on earth. So how is it that John sees all of them standing with Jesus on Mount Zion? In that, as members of the congregation of anointed Christians, these have now “approached a Mount Zion and a city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem.” ( Hebrews 12:22) Like Paul when he was still on earth, they have already—in a spiritual sense—been raised up to be in union with Christ Jesus in heavenly places. ( Ephesians 2:5, 6) Additionally, in 1919 they responded to the invitation, “Come on up here,” and in a figurative way “went up into heaven in the cloud.” ( Revelation 11:12) In view of these scriptures, we can see that all the 144,000—spiritually speaking—are located on Mount Zion with Jesus Christ.
The 144,000 have no part with the worshippers of the wild beast, who are marked with the symbolic number 666. ( Revelation 13:15-18) In contrast, these loyal ones have the name of God and of the Lamb written on their foreheads. No doubt John, a Jew, saw God’s name in Hebrew lettering, יהוה. In having the name of Jesus’ Father symbolically written on their foreheads, these sealed ones make known to all that they are Jehovah’s witnesses, His slaves. ( Revelation 3:12) Their having Jesus’ name also displayed on their foreheads indicates that they acknowledge being owned by him. He is their betrothed “husband,” and they are his prospective “bride,” “a new creation” serving God with heavenly life in view. ( Ephesians 5:22-24; Revelation 21:2, 9; 2 Corinthians 5:17) Their intimate relationship with Jehovah and Jesus Christ affects all their thoughts and actions.Thats the best I could do, and the rest up to you, weather you except this conclusion or not.

so far I like it. Paticularly ( m/p )the part abou
t the church a JESUS being the Corner Stone of it all and how he sit's at the right hand of God his
father adopting us making us part of his family and clarfing th fact that he did alo more than die on the cross for the sins of man kind and rise three days later.but made the Lord God Almighty Loving father in heavan more then our GOD the true and one and only GOD made him are father. Is that right ? ! Love in JESUS James /Navaho High Desert So.Cal. ooooouuuuuuut

I chose reading this chapter seeking a prayer for my niece who is struggling financially as well as emotionally after her husband of 31 years left her this past year. Verses 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 came to life for me: "Wherefore I desire that ye faint not.." "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" "Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named" "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit..". It's 2:01 a.m. and I'm resting my cares and concern with this promise.

I have been preaching the gospel for 33 years or better and this one of my Favorited verses IN THE Bible I use it to begin my sermon it has so much hope for to know he can beyond and a above that we could ever ask.

When I think of the vast ability of God my Father I am in awe. He truly is the master planner of my life. So for this and all, I give God the praise.

thankyou for the light you were given of this verse. i trust the kjv over all others after it.this verse tells me faith is a fruit of the indwelling spirit imputed to me. i cannot say i have my own righteousness or faith as infused but my sin covered by jesus blood . jesus earned by a loving work his place as king and lord.he did all and has all and i believe it thank our holy god.

UntoFUngo thee oh LORD I surrender all. For thou oh LORD art the LORD even the ALMIGHTY. GOD is ABLE.

That Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith...that ye{i) being rooted and grounded in love may understand the Cross and it accomplished....really, were it not for the cross, we'd all be eternally doomed. Thx u God

Such a faith strenghtening verse.That God can do even Exceedingly greater than we can imagine or think of.God is then TOO MUCH.

When i think about the ableness of my God to do beyond my own limitation,it settles all things to me and to realize that He is no respecter of person what He did for king David,He can do it for me

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

A truly loving GOD.

Let us all continue to walk in faith; serve our GOD with truth and in Spirit.
